ADRIAN — Fire of undetermined origin damaged a house at 224 E. Beecher St. in Adrian Saturday and caused the death of a family’s pet dog.

Adrian fire crews were dispatched to the scene at 1:05 p.m. and found the home’s garage in flames and smoke billowing from the house, according to information released Saturday by the Adrian Fire Department.

The house’s owners, Charles and Diana Wilkins, were not home when the fire started, and fire investigators were at the scene Saturday evening to determine the cause of the fire. The damage is covered by insurance, and the occupants are being taken care of by friends and family.
